Abstract
The development of the Indiana University’s mid-1970s BOOZE AND YOU’S alcohol education program with the message of responsible drinking for those who choose to drink is discussed in this paper. The program evolved out of a task force created by the Dean of Student’s Office. The group, chaired by Dr. Ruth Engs, developed a reliable survey instrument concerning drinking behavior and knowledge, the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ) to be available in the public domain for educational and academic research. The task force created a Training Manual for "Booze and You’s" Group Leaders for training the resident assistants to present the program; the manual is found at the end of this paper. It also developed and tested a film, "Booze and You’s" before implementation of the program. It is recommended that colleges and universities create a task force to examine drinking problems on campus, do a base line survey with an instrument such as the SAQ, and determine problems specific to their campus so they can be addressed as part of an overall campus alcohol education program.
